Aeva Technologies (AEVA, Financial) recently showcased its latest innovation, the 4D LiDAR sensor Atlas Ultra, at the CES event. This sensor is specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of SAE Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous driving systems for both passenger and commercial vehicles. The unveiling has garnered significant attention and positive feedback from the industry due to its superior performance and forward-thinking design.
The Atlas Ultra represents a significant leap in performance compared to its predecessor, the Atlas. It offers three times the resolution and a field of view of up to 150 degrees, along with high configurability. The design improvements include a 35% reduction in thickness, making it ideal for installation on vehicle rooftops or behind windshields without affecting vehicle aesthetics or aerodynamics. This design enhances the stability and safety of autonomous driving systems.
Notably, the Atlas Ultra excels in highway autonomous driving, with a low-reflectivity target detection range of up to 250 meters and a maximum detection distance of 500 meters. This capability ensures precise perception and positioning in complex driving environments. Additionally, the sensor features excellent anti-interference capabilities, effectively mitigating disruptions from direct sunlight, other LiDAR signals, and reflective objects.
Following the announcement, Aeva Technologies' stock price surged over 8% in pre-market trading, reaching $5.50, before settling at $5.13.
